"Ladies and gentlemen, filmmakers and movie fans from around the world, good evening."
After an opening song and dance, a host lineup consisting of four handsome men and beautiful women walked onto the stage and began a passionate opening speech.
"This is Shenzhou, China, the opening ceremony of the 8th Shenzhou Film Festival..."
Xu Jie sat in his seat meticulously, looking at the female host on the stage seriously.
According to his experience, every large-scale evening party must have a panoramic shot at the beginning. Although the corner where he is located is very inconspicuous, the stepped cross-seat design can still capture his face during the shot, especially when the lights are on, so one must not be careless during the opening period.
really!
A cameraman standing in the front aimed the camera at the stars below the stage, slowly turning from left to right.
And after the photographer in the front finished taking pictures, the two photographers on the side also aimed their cameras towards the back to shoot the stars on the scene from different angles.
Xu Jie counted silently and found that there were at least 8 camera positions on the scene, 5 fixed ones and 3 mobile ones, not including cameras from other media.
“Wow!”
Just as Xu Jie was concentrating on pretending, a surprised voice came from beside him.
He turned to look at the old man next to him, his eyes were wide open and he looked like he had never seen the world.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jie asked.
"Two hosts from China TV, one film emperor and one film queen, this hosting lineup is amazing." Zhang Jiusi said excitedly.
"Have you never watched the Spring Festival Gala?" Xu Jie asked.
"I've seen it before, but this is the first time I've seen it live." Zhang Jiusi took out his mobile phone from his pocket. Xu Jie thought he wanted to take a photo, but Zhang Jiusi logged into an online live broadcast platform and watched the live broadcast at the same time.
"What are you doing..." Xu Jie was surprised. He was already at the scene, but he was still watching the live broadcast online. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to watch it while lying in bed at home?
"I want to see which stars are in front, but I can only see the backs of their heads sitting here, which is very inconvenient," Zhang Jiusi explained.
"I didn't expect you are a star chaser." Xu Jie said after hearing this. He was not as interested in celebrities as he was in the director of the heating office.
"Don't you have any favorite stars?" Zhang Jiusi asked curiously. There are quite a few stars here today, from all three generations, it's dazzling to watch.
"Yes." said Xu Jie.
"Who? Can I help you find it?"
"Su Yun."
Zhang Jiusi retracted his gaze and turned to look at Xu Jie beside him, "Dude , are you showing off your affection to me? I know Su Yun is your wife, so you don't have to mention it all the time."
After the host finished his opening remarks, it was the turn of a leader from Shenzhou to take the stage to speak.
Xu Jie yawned. He felt sleepy whenever he heard his leader speak. The more senior the leader, the sleepier he felt. It was a terminal illness and there was no cure.
He knew that the cameras were definitely focused on the leader, so he leaned down and hid behind the front seat, closing his eyes and saying, "Brother, when it's my wife's turn to sing, call me. I'll close my eyes and rest for a while. Good people will have a peaceful life."
Zhang Jiusi looked at the guy next to him strangely. He was still sleeping when there were so many celebrities around? What was he thinking? Was he unhappy to see the beautiful celebrities?
He turned his head back and continued to look among the female stars.
"Zhou Fangfei is much prettier in person than on TV."
"Zhang Zixuan is in her forties, but she still maintains such a ."
"Hey, this little beauty is beautiful..."
Xu Jie frowned, "Brother, if you talk to me about this, I won't be sleepy anymore. Can you be more think about it silently in your heart?"
"Ah?" Zhang Jiusi scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "This is the first time I've seen so many female stars. I'm sorry to embarrass you. Hey, buddy, why are you on TV?"
"What?" Xu Jie opened his eyes in confusion and looked at Zhang Jiusi's mobile phone, only to see his footage appear in the live broadcast of the film festival's opening ceremony that night. The most important thing was that he still had his eyes closed.
Oh shit!
This is the picture of him just closing his eyes. There may be network delay, so it only appears now.
Xu Jie was shocked.
I open my eyes but you don't broadcast it. I close my eyes but you give me the camera. Director, do you have a grudge against me?
At this time, the barrage has already started.
"Scumbag Jay fell asleep?"
"Sleeping right after the show?"
"The organizer's staff has fainted in the toilet from crying."
"Cameraman, give Scumbag Jay more shots. I want to see how long he can sleep."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xu Jie was speechless.
He quickly straightened up and glanced back and forth at the cameramen, wondering which idiot was taking the photo and giving a close-up.
"Look, there's a beautiful girl coming over. She's wearing a professional suit. She's my type." Zhang Jiusi nudged Xu Jie with his elbow.
"Move aside. I want to listen carefully." Xu Jie said seriously, but the corner of his eyes glanced in the direction the other person was looking.
But what he saw was Qin Yan. He didn't know what this woman was doing. She was walking towards the back, probably going to the bathroom.
"Here it comes, here it comes, so elegant!" Zhang Jiusi sat up straight in excitement, like a soldier waiting for inspection.
Xu Jie rolled his eyes at the other person. He was such an adult, but he was still so excited when seeing a beautiful woman. What a loser.
"Xu Jie!" Qin Yan suddenly stopped when she walked to Xu Jie.
Zhang Jiusi was stunned. He looked at the beauty, then at the little brother beside him, and an expression of envy appeared on his face.
" What's the matter?" Xu Jie asked.
"Watch the performance carefully and don't sleep." Qin Yan instructed.
"You saw it too? If I say that I was blinking just now but opened my eyes slowly, would you believe it?" Xu Jie asked. He really only closed his eyes for half a minute. He now seriously suspected that the director was his anti-fan.
"What do you think?" Qin Yan half squatted down and said mysteriously, "I heard from colleagues in Shenzhou that you have the highest popularity curve when walking on the red carpet."
"Ah?" Xu Jie was stunned when he heard it, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, I'm not a star, don't joke with me."
"Really? And they're all comments telling you to get lost." Qin Yan said seriously.
"But, but I didn't do anything?" Xu Jie looked innocent, completely unaware of what was going on.
"You don't have to do it. You can attract hatred just by standing next to Su Yun. And according to convention, the more popular a person is when walking on the red carpet, the more shots they will get in the subsequent opening ceremony. It is probably for this reason that there was a close-up of you just now. I guess the director didn't expect you to fall asleep at the beginning." Qin Yan couldn't help laughing at the end.
“…”
Xu Jie didn't know what to say.
Other stars are trying their best to perform, holding their heads high and their chests out, and tucking in their stomachs, showing their radiant sides and striving for opportunities to show their faces.
How come he was filmed when he had no works, no fame, was neither a star nor a famous director?
Well, my black fans are really powerful!
"For such a big film festival, do you still need to rely on popularity to attract attention?" Xu Jie said to Qin Yan, "Go and tell the director not to film me. I'm just a bystander."
"What do you know? The Shenzhou Film Festival has only been held for the eighth time this year. It needs heat to increase its popularity. In fact, all film festivals need the blessing of celebrity topics." Qin Yan explained.
"But I'm just a negative news figure who is scolded by fans." Xu Jie said with a wry smile.
"How come you are a negative news character? You are obviously a positive news figure. Do you remember the time when you were beaten up by Su Yun's fans? The things you said at that time, especially your understanding of fan chasing, were even reported on my show and received praise from many official media. You are a genuine positive energy in society, do you understand?" Qin Yan said seriously.
"ok, I get it."
